Which is *exactly* the same message for me too.  I did try to uninstall
curl and reinstall it again but that didn't work.  I still got the
same error as above.  


Any suggestions on how to proceed to fix it?

Well, I can not tell, there is not enough informations for that. What I 
said about aptitude why-not was just as example. As far as I could see 
from start of your thread, you said that problem is: 

"The following packages have unmet dependencies:
 libcurl4-openssl-dev : Depends: librtmp-dev but it is not going to be 
installed
E: Unable to correct problems, you have held broken packages"

And why-not for librtmp-dev does not give me anything, it can be 
installed without problems on my system. Try aptitude -h and see all 
options it will give you. For example, there is option for trying to 
aggressively fix broken packages. And if you have broken packages, it 
was most likely done by some of your previous actions(you did 
mention some fiddling) . You can try to find out what went wrong and 
to reverse your actions. Also, you can try to use aptitude instead of 
apt-get when you are trying to install libcurl4-openssl-dev, think that it 
might give you more informations and options in this case. On other 
hand, do not know why you are trying to install libcurl4-openssl-dev, 
why not directly emacs24 for Wheezy backports? Not that I can 
understand why would anyone want that abomination of self called 
text editor(just kidding, not trying to start religious war about text 
editors).
